OCD is known for obsessions—overwhelming worries, intrusive thoughts, or feelings of uncertainty, wrongness, or doubt—and the compulsions we engage in to try to relieve that distress. But something many people don’t realize is that OCD can also affect the body. Sometimes the stress, tension, or pressure from OCD can lead to physical sensations like nausea, headaches, a racing heart, or other physical responses you don’t choose or control. These sensations can feel just as distressing as the thoughts themselves. ERP therapy is the clinically proven treatment for OCD, and over time, it can help you build tolerance, reduce distress, and feel more grounded again—both mentally and physically.
